Weighing the Hog Doesn't Make it Fatter: Linking Assessment to Instruction in a MTSS Model Are you collecting data you never use? Do you have questions about your students that you can't answer? Has assessment become a compliance activity? Perhaps you have lost sight of WHY you are assessing reading skills. This session will help elementary teachers, coaches and administrators identify the essential questions about reading performance, and select the most efficient ways to answer them. Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), the framework for implementing the science of reading, requires a coordinated system of assessment for four main purposes; • screening • diagnostic • progress monitoring • outcome evaluation Assessments should be used for the purpose for which they were designed. Each assessment purpose is linked to specific instructional decisions in the MTSS model, such as supplementing core reading instruction, forming small groups, and intensifying intervention. Participants will gain knowledge of how the four purposes of assessment link to instruction within MTSS for the benefit of all students.

This presentation will cover the foundations of Social Emotional Learning and integrating Social Emotional Learning as a part of a three tiered MTSS framework in an elementary school. Practical strategies, ideas, and resources for implementation will be shared throughout.

Access all of the sessions at https://pattanliteracysymposium22.sched.com/ Speech-language pathologists (SLPs), educators, and other practitioners have consistently noted the diagnostic challenge observed when attempting to distinguish between the typical linguistic variation of African American English (AAE) speakers, the clinical indicators of language disorder and language delay based on the impact of being reared in poverty. As the development of literacy skills is dependent upon strong language foundations, the early identification and intervention for students with true language and literacy weaknesses is critical. We will discuss evidence-based assessment and treatment practices that practitioners can utilize when working with speakers of AAE and other non-mainstream dialects.

Using converging research from the fields of brain science, trauma, poverty and behavior, this overview session will identify school practices that effectively support students with trauma histories. Specific connections to components of PBIS will be made. Note: definition of trauma includes poverty-related developmental/pervasive trauma.

Access all of the sessions at https://pattanliteracysymposium22.sched.com/ Teachers often ask us how to include decodable readers during phonics instruction. This session answers that question. Teachers will learn how decodable texts are critical for beginning phonics instruction, when to start using decodable text, when it is appropriate to move away from decodable text, and how to track students‚ progress with decodable texts. Teachers will also learn the importance of using decodable text to practice a new advanced phonics pattern when it is taught, even though students are capable of reading grade level text independently. There is a brief discussion of the difference between decodable and leveled texts.
